Your words reminded me of myself - taking the practical view of getting through things and much, much later, realizing I haven't dealt with them. This movie today may have opened the floodgates so you can finally finish processing this most horrible of events. I hope you do, because I hate to think of your life still being controlled by someone else's actions, no matter how horrible or how you were related. Your life is yours and you have a right to it - to live it on your terms, not someone else's terms.

Though If you have the 30 second pitch in your head usually it will come out on paper quite nicely. <br /><br />Example: Current novel 30 sec pitch is as follows. <br /><br />Humanity is coming to grips with the fact that they are no longer the dominant species. Two characters unwittingly travel the same path. One wants to be human and the other wants to find her friend's killer, both unraveling the true meaning of humanity through their journey.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887234587351987010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7696664237079304854.post-24390116095573390392010-03-04T09:44:33.496-08:002010-03-04T09:44:33.496-08:00That makes me think of queries- it's kind of t...That makes me think of queries- it's kind of the same thing because you have to condense a HUGE amount of writing into a couple of paragraphs!
